Microsoft Envisioning: HouseCall

ROLE: CREATIVE DIRECTION, USER EXPERIENCE, DESIGN

Collaborating with Microsoft’s Strategic Prototyping team, led by now-retired Craig Mundie, I designed this interface. The demo we created reveals how doctors might one day access patient data, enabling deeper insight and a more holistic approach to sustainable well-being.

We defined a sophisticated visual system that dynamically organizes the hay stack of medical records into a simple array of timely needles. The interface also respects the proximity of the user – the closer the doctor is to the screen, the more granular the information becomes. Conversely, the content simplifies as they move farther away.

The idea of a patient having an avatar allowed us to provide a solution for Patient Anonymity. The technology/system, with the oversight of a trained practitioner, could read body language and provide insights without the patient being physically present or have their identity revealed.
